Australian Plant Phenomics Facility

The Australian Plant Phenomics Facility (APPF) is a distributed network of national research infrastructure platforms that offer open access to plant phenomics technologies and expertise not available at this scale or breadth in the public sector anywhere else in the world.

We provide state-of-the-art plant phenotyping tools and expertise to enable academic and commercial plant scientists, from Australia and around the world, to address complex problems in plant and agricultural science.

Research at the APPF is leading to the development of new and improved crops, healthier food and more sustainable agricultural practices in the face of declining arable land and the challenges of climate variation.
